Heartbeat is written in free-verse, much like Creech's Love That Dog book. I like how this type of writing moves the story steadily forward, in a rhythm. When you are running or jogging, you get into a rhythm too, just like Max and Annie. Their friendship is based on their love of running. But the story's main theme isn't their friendship or running but life changes that Annie observes around her. Her mother is pregnant, her grandfather is aging and becoming forgetful and even Annie's favorite pastime takes on some changes as she determines what is important to her. By the end of the novel, readers may agree that the apple is a great picture for the cover of this novel.
